Starter Villain by John Scalzi
5.0
I have always wondered what my cat gets up to when I'm not around, and now I know! This is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud and charming fantasy. I think the attention to the very realistic detail, how some of us humans rely on our pet counterparts, really made this book not just smart but feel like a big hug.
Charlie is in a bad spot in his life, but when he finds out his uncle died and stands for him at a very strange wake, I begin to see the real Charlie shine through. This is a man who loves his cats, who can handle himself (mostly) in tough situations, and absolutely charmed me with his overall kindness and sincerity even in villain mode.
I can not recommend this enough. A quick read. Something I will probably reread down the road. Fantastic!
